Bribery environment and firm performance: evidence from Central and Eastern European countries
Hanousek, Jan; Kochanova, A.
2014 - English
We examine the relation between bureaucratic corruption and firm performance in CEE countries. While previous research uses data from BEEPS, which suffers from excessive non-reporting of corporate performance, we combine reliable firm financials from the Amadeus database with information on bribery practices from BEEPS. We show that differing consequences of corruption found in previous studies could be explained by the corruption environment in which a firm operates. Basically, higher mean corruption is associated with lower performance, while higher dispersion appears to facilitate firm performance. A detailed analysis is conducted by firm sector and size, and countries’ institutional environments.

Identifying flip floppers: changing attitudes towards suicide bombing in the Middle East
Malečková, Jitka; Kovač, Dejan
2014 - English
Existing literature on attitudes towards terrorism is mainly based on a cross sectional analysis of data, providing insights in the differences among countries. This paper examines changes in public opinion on terrorism over time, utilizing the PEW Survey data on at titudes towards suicide bombing in the Middle East (specifically Egypt and Pakistan) from 2004 to 2011. Give n the lack of panel data, it uses the Markov chain methodology to compare changes in the distribution of people who approve of terrorism in order to identify specific demograp hic groups within a country that have a higher probability of switching between approval and disapproval of suicide bombing. Predicting future evolutio n of terror ism approval helps to identify outliers in the data. Year to year country level changes in approval of terrorism are divided into different subgroups to investigate whether the change is on aggregate level for the whole country or whether specific demograp hic groups are triggering the changes. The results of this research can inform policies aimed at reducing the rates of terrorism approval among specific demographic groups.

V této studii analyzujeme daň z nemovitých věcí v Praze. Daň z nemovitých věcí je v České republice i v Praze v porovnání se zahraničím relativně nízká. Výnosy daně z nemovitých věcí, na rozdíl od ostatních daňových výnosů, automaticky nerostou s inflací. In this study, we analyze Prague real estates tax. In comparison with other countries, the real estate tax in the Czech Republic and Prague is relatively low.
